The BMW 7 Series with Active Cruise Control and Stop & Go functionality now comes with something new—a Front Collision Warning System. With this system, drivers are alerted if they are in danger of driving into the back of the vehicle in front of them.

First, a symbol appears in the instrument cluster and in the optional Head-Up Display. Next, if the situation becomes more critical, the symbol starts to flash while a warning sound is heard. When it’s necessary, the brake system also prepares to engage.

Even when Active Cruise Control is not in use, the Front Collision Warning System remains active.
